"actually you are an ungrateful foul cow...."
Hmm
because I said I didn't want chocolates.. yes I know that sounds awful but last week I had a very high cholesterol check and am panicking... I asked him not to get me chocolates this year for that reason... and apparently that is the [only] thing he got and I said I couldn't understand why he did as I was off anything like that.

Sorry, I didnt mean that to sound like "is that it?!" I meant, has he been nasty to you in other ways too as you sound so down, and whilst I would be pissed off I would be angry and arguing, not getting sad.

Shocking, just shocking, and vile, and inexcusable.

And...

infront of your daughter?!

CeliaFate · 16/05/2012 21:18

Oh, and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Wine Flowers

CeliaFate · 16/05/2012 21:18

D'oh. Thanks

MsVestibule · 16/05/2012 21:18

The amount of nasty DHs out there is quite depressing. How could anybody make horrible, personal comments to somebody they profess to love?

Dropdeadfred · 16/05/2012 21:19

Oh yes 'happy Birthday' sorry it's been a disappointment

seenitallbefore2012 · 16/05/2012 21:19

we were alone in the kitchen when he said it.. altho he was walking out and said it at volume
I am happy as a person
He has form in this area but not for a long time.And often on birthdays.

ABatInBunkFive · 16/05/2012 21:28

Good for you.

Happy birthday.

PoshPaula · 16/05/2012 21:37

My first husband used to call me horrible names etc on a regular basis. Because I was young and naive then, I began to think of it as normal. It isn't and no-one should tolerate it!

seenitallbefore2012 · 16/05/2012 21:38

you see, because I thought it was daft to have got them, and thoughtless, as it was the only thing I said not to get,and he had disregarded this on purpose, I pretty much said so, instaed of just being nice and saying oh ok everyone else can share them, as I normally would.
He didn't like that cos I wasn't meek and I DARED to be ungrateful so it justified him calling me a foul ungrateful cow in his eyes.
at volume

Dropdeadfred · 16/05/2012 21:42

You should just say to him outright 'if you don't want to buy me a gift, fair enough, just say so, but don't ask me to be grateful for something that isn't for me'

scuzy · 16/05/2012 21:43

does anyone here ever have arguments with the other halves where they said things they didnt mean??? all the leave him, deserve better. perhaps there is a reason he is being like this.

is this the norm op? does he berate you every day? or this a one off? hurtful and you are justified in your feelings but cmon people .....

AnyFucker · 16/05/2012 21:45

for what "reason" is it ok for a bloke to verbally abuse his wife ?

ABatInBunkFive · 16/05/2012 21:45

oh well if there is a reason that's ok. Hmm

AllYoursBabooshka · 16/05/2012 21:47

Eh Scuzy?

There is no reason in the world that would make me deliberately insult and humiliate my DP like this. Not one.

scuzy · 16/05/2012 21:49

well so do you all suggest she leave him?

dp called me a whiny cunt the other day cos i said he was doing my nut in dragging dirt around the floor. he apologised and told him never to call me that again. am still with him. should i leave him?
